The Role We're looking for a software engineer who's excited to build and ship across the full stack.

- Own features end-to-end: design, build, test, deploy, support
- Help shape engineering practices and architecture as the team scales
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience building and shipping production software
- Comfortable working across the stack, or strong in one area with willingness to stretch
- Solid fundamentals in Python and/or TypeScript or equivalent
- Experience with relational databases and clean API design
- Works well with autonomy and takes ownership over end-to-end delivery
- Bonus: experience at an early-stage company or on a 0→1 product
Why Join Us

- A product already in use by real customers, with real stakes
- A small, close-knit team that values speed, craft, and clear thinking
- Space to grow into leadership or specialize as we scale
